Joy 4 Kids: French & Spanish Theatre

A visit to Surbiton High Boys’ Prep with Búsqueda Del Tesoro 🇪🇸

Pupils took part in a highly engaging and immersive Spanish theatre experience, solving clues and using their language skills throughout.

Busqueda del Tesoro | Surbiton High School We were delighted to welcome Lucy from Joy4Kids to perform the play Busqueda del Tesoro at the Boys' Prep. The boys found this interactive play highly enjoyable, as they joined Lucy on her adventure to find the treasure whilst meeting some very interesting characters along the way (Don Quixote, Pabl...

One of our visits to Ewell Castle School with Au Pays Des Lutins 🇫🇷

I'm thrilled the pupils were able to help me find the elves! Together we got through a series of fun and interactive challenges, whilst bringing beloved Wizard of Oz characters to life and outsmarting a mischievous witch!

This immersive theatre play makes learning French an ongoing adventure! Thank you again to Ewell Castle who's welcomed me twice into their school 😍

✨ Here it is — my 2026 French Theatre Show Pack is officially open for bookings! 🇫🇷🎭

In 2026 I’m touring two highly interactive French adventures across London and the South East (with other regional tours organised depending on school interest 💫).

Since launching in 2023, I’ve brought my language theatre productions to dozens of primary schools, receiving wonderful feedback from both pupils and teachers.

I genuinely pour my heart into these performances. My mission is simple: to grow children’s confidence in French while developing their listening and speaking skills through immersive storytelling, role-play, movement, singing and games.

Theatre is powerful — it allows children to live the language rather than just learn it. It’s the next best thing to being in France itself ✨

If you're planning your 2026 French Day or enrichment activities, I’d love to hear from you.
